d. Maintain RED/BLACK cable separation in accordance with

CNSSAM TEMPEST/1-13.

e. Remove all burrs from carrier segments prior to installation.

f. Mark all simple distribution PDS (non hardened carriers) with (2) 1" red tape strips every 8 feet for inspection.

3.2.2 Mounting Location Considerations

a. Route the PDS carrier so that it does not cross windows or doorway openings; does not cross ceiling or wall mounted lighting fixtures;

does not obscure EXIT signs or fire alarms; and maintains a minimum 3-foot separation from fire sprinkler heads.

b. Bend (saddle or offset) conduit to follow wall contours and avoid wall obstacles (columns, pipes, etc.).

c. Use offset raceway to route secure raceway systems around columns and other wall partition obstacles.

d. Route PDS carrier so that it is surface mounted on interior walls wherever possible. Obtain exceptions from NEC prior to installation to mount PDS carrier on exterior wall partitions.

e. Route PDS carrier to maximized cable fills in horizontal runs and reduce the number of horizontal runs within the same space.

f. Use all-thread rod to mount the PDS carrier to true ceiling structure when routing across open areas (e.g. large hallways, open office areas, large rooms) that exceed 8 feet . Mounting the PDS carrier directly from suspended ceiling framework is not acceptable.

3.2.3 Adjacent Infrastructure Considerations

Keep conduit a minimum of 6 inches from parallel runs of flues and steam or hot water pipes. A minimum separation of 6-inches is required between the PDS carrier and water pipes, electrical wires, electrical pipes, plumbing, air conditioning, etc.

3.3 INSTALLATION

Strictly comply with manufacturer's installation instructions and recommendations and approved shop drawings. Coordinate installation with adjacent work to ensure proper clearances and compliance with project site manager and NEC.

3.3.1 Mounting PDS Carrier

b. Do not mount PDS carrier to acoustical tile ceiling (ATC) framework.

c. Fasten PDS carrier and component items to building wall partitions using appropriate anchor and fastener for wall partition type.

d. Mount PDS carrier so that is is level and plumb along its route. The top edge of the carrier is horizontally level. Whenever possible maintain a minimum of 2-inches below the suspended ceiling line or the true ceiling line, whichever is lower.

e. Struts are not allowed to be used to mount secure raceway to wall partitions.

f. No more than 1/4 inch play is allowed on TOP CAP (top cover) and span cut per segment span.

g. Install the PDS carrier to permit visual inspections of its entire run.

h. Do not block doorways or access to emergency exits and do not inhibit the operation of windows.

i. Do not paint or cover the PDS carrier with wallpaper or other covering unless the paint is applied by the carrier manufacturer.

j. Bond PDS carrier to TGB or TMGB at point of origin.

3.3.2 Enclosures

Use of enclosures with pre-punched knockouts or external hinges is not acceptable. Fasten UDB, pull boxes, and enclosures to the wall partition using fasteners appropriate for the wall partition type.

3.3.2.1 User Drop Box (UDB)

a. Indicate UDB locations in the PDS Plan and on as-built drawings.

b. Size the UDB to terminate up to 6 cables.

c. Coordinate drop box location with furniture, fixtures and equipment that will be used in the vicinity (provided by others). Surface mount drop boxes on the wall partition approximately 4 to 5 feet above final floor line depending on room furniture height and layout or as specified on drawings.

3.3.2.2 Other Enclosures

Indicate enclosure type (user drop box, equipment, or pull-box) on shop and as-built drawings.

3.3.3 Mechanical Security

Apply a continuous bead of epoxy at all seams and joints of the carrier system. Seal pull box covers to the pull boxes around the mating surfaces after installation if they cannot be secured with GSA approved changeable

SECTION 27 05 29 Page 8 combination padlock.

3.3.4 Carrier Support

3.4 FIELD QUALITY ASSURANCE

3.4.1 Physical Inspection

Physically inspect all interfaces to ensure that they are tight and cannot turn. Also, physically inspect lock covers to ensure that the lock cap is properly sealed inside the locking mechanism.

3.4.2 Magnetic Test

Perform magnet test on all components (e.g. carrier raceway, pull boxes, enclosures, cover plates, etc) and fittings used to construct the carrier. Place a magnet on the carrier component or fitting to verify that construction is from ferrous material. Some alloys will fail the magnet test (e.g. 309 stainless steel) but meet the ferrous material requirements. Provide alloy material property list for components that fail magnet test to the Contracting Officer for approval. Use of components and fittings that fail the magnet test and are not made from ferrous material is not acceptable.

3.5 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

Clean exposed surfaces using non-abrasive materials and methods recommended by manufacturer. Protect raceways and boxes until acceptance.
